Mayor Ben Cantu dismissed creating a trench for trains through Manteca as “beyond the financial scope of the city.” Shown is the rail trench through downtown Reno.
Declaring the “railroad was here first” while noting the city can ill-afford to spend upwards of $100,000 to start another project at this time, Mayor Ben Cantu led the charge to derail a plan to study options to look at alternatives for traffic at 12 railroad crossings in Manteca.
